...same source as aboveDarren Lehmann, the successful Queensland coach, is considered a leading contender to replace Arthur at short notice. Lehmann is in England having just finished a tour as mentor of the Australia A outfit and has won rave reviews for the tough and somewhat old-school approach he has taken with Queensland since he was appointed in 2011.

Bally it don't matter what they "change". As long as they can't produce a decent batter to compliment this likes of Clark they will continue to lose. Aurthur lead South Africa to number one before so he's obviously got talent as a coach, but the bottom line remains that if you haven't got good players to work with you're always gonna be walking on a slippery rope.
Some coaches have started poorly and have improved like Gibbo and now Duncan, so maybe in time he could have turned it around but i personally think Australia are heading down a dark road, there's just no talent in the cupboard at all.
